Taehee Yoo fd3e71a9f7 netfilter: nf_conncount: use spin_lock_bh instead of spin_lock
conn_free() holds lock with spin_lock() and it is called by both
nf_conncount_lookup() and nf_conncount_gc_list(). nf_conncount_lookup()
is called from bottom-half context and nf_conncount_gc_list() from
process context. So that spin_lock() call is not safe. Hence
conn_free() should use spin_lock_bh() instead of spin_lock().

test commands:
   %nft add table ip filter
   %nft add chain ip filter input { type filter hook input priority 0\; }
   %nft add rule filter input meter test { ip saddr ct count over 2 } \
	   counter

splat looks like:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
